On one level that is how today's policy announcement, by Zimbabwe's new coalition government, could be seen. The paper commitment to re-engage with the West within 100 days could be genuine.
But even if it is, it remains to be seen whether or not the hard graft needed to put words into action is started and maintained.
The West should presume that this graft will be undertaken and therefore embrace the paper commitment in principle.
But it should also push for external monitors to be sent to the country to assess the depth and speed of change, particularly in relation to human rights.

- Welcome to the Global Bubble. Here in Britain, I feel that we are offered a false blonde vs brunette foreign policy choice between the EU and the US. We live in a world that is becoming more and more interconnected and it is time our foreign policy discussions and decision-making processes reflected this. That is the main purpose of this politically neutral blog.
